The Glory is Coming but Not the Way We Have Thought
G R A N T B E R R Y
The words glory , glorify , and glorified are mentioned nine times in John 17 and five times in the first five verses . Glory is one of the main themes of Yeshua / Jesus ’ s prayer , His last prayer on the Earth before going to the cross , and His subsequent resurrection that the Father ’ s Glory would be made known to the world .
The Glory of God is associated with His holiness , His honor , His presence , His esteem , but also with His state of being and the presence of God all around Him . To me , when I think of the Glory of God , I think of His fullness and the fullness of His Holy Spirit , the Fire of God , and the fullness of His power that emanates from the Father and the Son .
I ’ m jealous for that fullness to be released on us , His Body , His Holy Ecclesia / Church , His representation here , on the Earth , to a lost and dying world . But there are two other main themes in Yeshua / Jesus ’ s prayer that are central to this Glory and its fullness that we need to pay a lot more attention to if the fullness of the Glory of God is to be released in us . which has everything to do with the LOVE AND UNITY THE FATHER AND YESHUA / JESUS SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER , THE LOVE AND UNITY THEY SHARE WITH US , THE LOVE AND UNITY WE SHARE WITH THEM , AND THE LOVE AND UNITY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER .
